I am not making assumptions. I am saying that, only according to the AQ listed as killed during Obama's year so far, and what and where Bush pursued AQ, Obama is doing a good job, and in places Bush never went to.
If you recall, there was great discussion and debate by all candidates about how and where to continue to pursue AQ. Iraq - Iran - everywhere else.
Bush-Cheney was never shy about claiming credit for military success, most certainly not success against AQ. "Mission Accomplished"
Nor should they be. Every AQ kill is a credit to America against the scum of the world. We're not the only nation that suffers at AQ hands.
Do you really think the last administration hid any vast secret success against AQ? Secretly killed major AQ operatives and didn't publicize it?
My point is that the characterization of Obama as inactive or ineffective against terrorism is most obviously not true, based upon what has been accomplished to date. He's doing fine. He deserves credit for what he's done so far.
